With SOCIETY - Keeping Time


“Give me a beat!”
A beat is the one of your heart and soul
that creates the breath of your functioning humanity.
Without gratitude towards this,
there will be nothing worth living for. 

Unforced feelings are what keeps time for the universe and allows us to grow. In music, keeping good time is what the great drummers and band leaders do.  Without this unforced feeling, we do not move.  We do not dance. We do not love. We do not procreate.  We cannot give hope and energy to those in need.  We cannot feel the down time and thrills of the successes of our efforts. 
I think we all want to feel love, just as we do the glow of the sun.  Joy is like the heat of the sun or the heat of another.  Without it, all flames will die.  Yet, one flame can ignite infinite amounts for others without losing its own properties of heat and light. Yes, it may seem like the flame of a candle might be weakened if it touches another, but it will be back at full strength within moments.  True timing has no number, only feeling.  It is a feeling of warmth when we know we are in love or when the fire burns in our souls, letting us know we are alive.  Without this one flame, there would be no light to see who is in need of the warmth.
